The Algemeen Ziekenhuis Heilige Familie (AZHF) order represents Merge Healthcare EMEA’s first comprehensive radiology information system/picture archiving and communication system (RIS/PACS)/speech recognition agreement in the Belgian market and was coordinated by its Nuenen, the Netherlands office.
Merge Healthcare’s Fusion RIS/PACS integrates the company’s comprehensive Fusion RIS GL with the image visualization, distribution and storage technologies of Fusion PACS to create a unified distributed business and clinical workflow offering.
Implementation of the system at AZHF, a 207-bed medical center with over 450 personnel, is scheduled to be completed by October 2007.
The implementation underscores the company’s European growth aims, and the announcement comes just days after Merge Healthcare received an order to install its Fusion aXigate clinical information management platform in a French hospital.
